Review:

The 'crux' of the matter is rarely as tasty as this fruity and none-too-sweet brandy-laced cocktail.

History:

Until I revisited the Crux on 23rd February 2023, our recipe followed the original equal parts proportions with:
30ml (1oz) Cognac
30ml (1oz) Triple sec
30ml (1oz) Dubonnet Red
30ml (1oz) Lemon juice

Nutrition:

One serving of Crux contains 155 calories.

Alcohol content:

  • 1.6 standard drinks
  • 22.64% alc./vol. (45.28° proof)
  • 22.1 grams of pure alcohol
